Python is one of the most widely used computer languages in the world. It’s popularity is growing steadily every day. There are many courses you can take to learn Python. However, there is no book out there that has become the “Bible” for students who are completely new to the world of software development, to learn how to program in Python. The author has searched without success for such a book. The author has taken his personally developed, highly successful curriculum, which he has taught in a number of Silicon Valley colleges, and turned it into this book.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Move from zero knowledge of programming to comfortably writing small to medium-sized programs in Python. Fully updated for Python 3, with code and examples throughout, the book explains Python coding with an accessible, step-by-step approach designed to bring you comfortably into the world of software development.

Real–world analogies make the material understandable, with a wide variety of well-documented examples to illustrate each concept. Along the way, you’ll develop short programs through a series of coding challenges that reinforce the content of the chapters.

Learn to Program with Python 3 guides you with material developed in the author's university computer science courses. The author's conversational style feels like you're working with a personal tutor. All material is thoughtfully laid out, each lesson building on previous ones.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The best book out there for someone new to programming
    Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    I bought this book in preparation for a beginners python class that I had coming up because I was worried that I would struggle with the class. I spent about 3 weeks going through the book from cover to cover, doing all of the challenges - some more than once, and others I would do over again with my own twist on them to see what would happen.

    When I took my class in school it was a breeze! I think I learned 10x more from this book than the class ever would have taught me! It was a huge relief to be able to make my way through my class with confidence and I still use this book as a reference now. It is well laid out, well paced, and will get you up to speed in python quickly!

    Coverage - the book gives enough examples to cover python topics in detail.
    Learning - with my intermediate Perl background, I did not have any issues reading and understanding the material.

    For New Learners - if you have no programing background, learn the topics at top level first before jumping into books detail, and to avoid confusing yourself, understand the examples.

    Programming books quickly go out of date. The Python 3.10 release makes some of the content in the book incorrect. Otherwise, the book is great to use in introductory scripting/Python courses.

    You could definitely learn something from this I copied one of the codes line for line out of this book and for the life of me could not get the program to work it was the Magic 8 Ball So I Googled that code and the ones I pulled from the internet are substantially different than the one that came out of this book seems to be a sign the book doesn't know what it's talking about

    3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing and very superficial treatment of the subject
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 16, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    Not impressed. Very basic. Lot of repetition and poor examples imho.
    Covers the basics but could have done so in half the number of pages.
    Disappointing and there are much better if more expensive books you should consider.
    I have fairly extensive computer programming experience in many languages but no knowledge of Python. I found almost nothing here I couldn’t pick up from the Python documentation and other online sites.
